Hi everybody, As we announced a couple of days ago, we're mostly ready to release the next update of Project Hospital which brings official support for the Steam Deck and the usual delivery of fixes and improvements including some welcome fixes of community translations. As this has really helped with the last few releases, we're once again making the version available early on a beta branch so the community and especially modders can try it out and check that everything works on their side. The release notes are listed below, the beta branch you can switch to in Properties in your library is beta-patch-39-test. Let us know if you find any issues and we're very interested to hear any feedback about the controls on the Deck when any of you receive yours - we'll create a pinned thread in the discussions on the community page for that.
